Question

我正在尝试使用Python 3.3.1解析从youtube视频供稿中获取的XML字符串。这是代码：

import re
import sys
import urllib.request
import urllib.parse
import xml.etree.ElementTree as element_tree

def get_video_id(video_url):
    return re.search(r'watch\?v=.*', video_url).group(0)[8:]

def get_video_feed(video_url):
    video_feed = "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/" + get_video_id(video_url)
    return urllib.request.urlopen(video_feed).read()

def get_media_info(video_url):
    content = get_video_feed(video_url)
    content = str(content, 'ascii')
    media = {}
    e = element_tree.XML(content);

    print ( "CONTENT: \n" + content )

    print ( "\n\nELEMENTS : \n")
    for i in list(e):
        print (i) 

    media['title'] = e.findall('title')   //NOTE THIS!
    return media


def main():
    video_url = 'http://youtube.com/watch?v=q5sOLzEerwA' 

    print ( get_media_info(video_url) )

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

我不知道为什么for中的get_media_info()循环将元素打印为

<Element '{http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom}title' at 0x0000000002BF7D18>

而不是：

<Element 'title' at 0x0000000002BF7D18>

坦率地说，我不在乎它的印刷品。我只关心的是我想将'title'传递给findall()并期望一个元素列表作为返回值。但它返回空列表，即使xml中有一个名为title的元素。

所以我尝试了这个：

media['title'] = e.findall('{http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom}title')

它确实返回了一个元素的列表。我确定这不是这样做的方式，我觉得我错过了什么。

如何解决这个问题？

这是上述代码的输出：

Answer 1

XML文档的命名空间非常重要。 ElementTree要求标签完全限定以找到正确的元素。以下是三个元素在不同命名空间中具有相同标记的示例：

data = '''\
<root xmlns="xyz" xmlns:name="abc">
  <object name="one" />
  <name:object name="two" />
  <object xmlns="def" name="three" />
</root>
'''

这是ElementTree看到的元素：

>>> from xml.etree import ElementTree as et
>>> tree = et.fromstring(data)
>>> print(tree.findall('.//*'))
>>> et.dump(tree)
[<Element '{xyz}object' at 0x0000000003B07BD8>,
 <Element '{abc}object' at 0x0000000003B07C28>,
 <Element '{def}object' at 0x0000000003B07C78>]

所以你做对了。给定默认名称空间定义：

<entry xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom' ...

访问'title'标签，该标签使用默认命名空间：

media['title'] = e.findall('{http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom}title')

访问'media：group'标签，请参阅媒体命名空间定义：

<entry ... xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' ...

并使用：

e.findall('{http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/}group')

请注意命名空间的不同方式：

<root xmlns="xyz" xmlns:name="abc">   # default namespace and
                                      # 'abc' namespace with id 'name'.
  <object name="one" />               # Uses default namespace 'xyz'.
  <name:object name="two" />          # uses 'abc' namespace (specified by id).
  <object xmlns="def" name="three" /> # change the default namespace to 'def'.
</root>

从特定命名空间中读取特定标记：

>>> print(tree.find('{abc}object').attrib['name'])
'two'

请注意，命名空间ID只是快捷方式。以下是转储解析后的XML树时发生的情况。 ElementTree不打算保存原始命名空间ID并以ns#格式生成自己的ID：

>>> et.dump(tree)
<ns0:root xmlns:ns0="xyz" xmlns:ns1="abc" xmlns:ns2="def">
  <ns0:object name="one" />
  <ns1:object name="two" />
  <ns2:object name="three" />
</ns0:root>

如果要定义特定的快捷方式，请使用`register_namespace'：

>>> et.register_namespace('','xyz') # default namespace
>>> et.register_namespace('name','abc')
>>> et.register_namespace('custom','def')
>>> et.dump(tree)
<root xmlns="xyz" xmlns:custom="def" xmlns:name="abc">
  <object name="one" />
  <name:object name="two" />
  <custom:object name="three" />
</root>

Answer 2

其实我使用xml.dom.minidom尝试了以下方式，以防它无论如何都会帮助你。

#!/usr/bin/python

from xml.dom.minidom import parseString
import re
import urllib

def get_video_id(video_url):
    return re.search(r'watch\?v=.*', video_url).group(0)[8:]

def get_video_feed(video_url):
    video_feed = "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/" + get_video_id(video_url)
    print video_feed
    return urllib.urlopen(video_feed).read()

def get_media_info(video_url):
    content = get_video_feed(video_url)
    dom = parseString(content)
    media = {}

    media['title'] = dom.getElementsByTagName('title')[0].firstChild.nodeValue
    return media

def main():
    video_url = 'http://youtube.com/watch?v=q5sOLzEerwA' 

    print ( get_media_info(video_url) )

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
